The Boulder County Coroner's Office has identified the man who died after being involved in a head-on car accident in Louisville Wednesday as 64-year-old Eugene Ching, of Lafayette.

Ching was the sole occupant of an SUV that collided with a minivan in the intersection of Colo. 42 and Harper Street, near the Louisville Sports Complex, on Wednesday afternoon, according to Louisville police.

Ching was taken by helicopter to Denver Health Medical Center after the accident. He died at the hospital on Thursday, according to police.

The three occupants of the minivan, whose identities have not been released, suffered injuries of varying severity in the accident and each was taken to an area hospital via ambulance, police say.

Determinations in the cause and manner of Ching's death are pending further investigation, according to the coroner's office.
